“I feel like we’re being hunted, you know? And yeah, I’m not cool with it. It’s like the society believes what the officers say, and he’s got way more of a reason to lie than we do, than I do,” said Scarface. “You killed that man. And he don’t even get a day in court. Not that the judicial system is set up for us to benefit from in any f*cking way. You’re dead on both sides. You are.”

Face goes on to talk about the definition of racism and what he sees as the injustice of the American system. He gets emotional when discussing police officers often claiming a suspect reached for the cop’s weapon as an excuse to use deadly force.

“Don’t get me started. You know G####### well we ain’t gonna reach for no motherf*cking police officer’s gun,” added Scarface. “That sh*t makes me mad. That’s a f*cking lie!”

West created a mini-media firestorm when he decided to delete his tweets referring to Tidal. The removal came in the midst of bad press for the platform which caused some people to speculate the GOOD Music boss was pulling back from publicly endorsing Tidal.

“Together, we can turn the tide and make music history. Start by turning your profile picture blue. #TIDALforALL,” Ye tweeted on March 30. The tweet is now gone.

Kanye returned to Twitter this week with a new post in support of Tidal. He wrote, “The love of music is louder than words. TIDAL.COM”

(AllHipHop News) It is well documented Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his eldest child Marquise Jackson do not have a close father-son relationship. There was the complaints from Marquise’s mother that 50 had not seen his son in years, and the younger Jackson was seen pictured with his dad’s rival Slowbucks on Instagram.

In a recent interview with Angie Martinez, 50 stated, “I don’t speak to [Marquise]. With him that situation is so complex that I think over time [Marquise’s mother] has instilled her entitlement… My grandfather taught me your enemies’ enemy is your friend… You may not necessarily have an altercation with that person, but they’ll side with someone they think has an altercation with you on the common ground of disliking you.”

50 recently uploaded his own photo with his youngest son to IG. The harmless post eventually led to the G-Unit leader bashing black women. The caption for Fiddy’s pic read, “My little guy is getting big so fast. I feel like I’m gonna blink and he’s gonna pull off in one of my cars. Lol.”

Another user then commented, “What about your first born?” 50 responded by writing, “Why only angry Black b*tches got something to say about my other son he grown. What you want to give him some p*ssy? Google him.”

The Shade Room captured the social media exchange.

(AllHipHop News) On March 30, Jay Z joined with part owners Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Madonna, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, and eight other high-profile acts to announce the launch of the revamped music streaming service Tidal. Since that time, Tidal has experienced both positive press (release of exclusive content from Jay, Bey, Rih, Cole, & others) as well as negative press (CEO replaced, decline on Apple App Store charts).

Changing the public perception that Tidal’s $19.99 hi-fi premium service cost is too expensive (there is also a $9.99 tier) and having to compete against well established music streaming services such as Spotify, Beats Music, and Rapsody could be Tidal’s biggest obstacles.

AllHipHop.com’s Chuck Creekmur sat down with Tidal Chief Information Officer Vania Schlogel to discuss the company’s strategy for success in a relatively new marketplace, creating a space for artists and fans to connect, providing a platform to highlight emerging/independent artists, and remaining competitive against other streaming options.

“In order for us to succeed, we don’t need to steal subscribers from other platforms,” explains Schlogel. “I think what makes us unique is the fact this is artist owned, so it’s a different type of involvement.”

I don’t keep up with these two all that much, but one thing seems to be certain – Tyga wants his gal back. But she must be all the way gone! She played Tyga and put their text interactions online.

I know he probably wronged her, but damn. Nothing is sacred anymore, I suppose. Then again, there is nothing normal about these two anyway.

Apparently, the booty era is coming to a crashing end – not. But, K. Michelle seemingly has been offered a movie role or two and she wants the movies so…off goes the booty. This is what I didn’t know. She apparently had had some work on that thang. That booty is injected up, according to people in the know. So, she paid to get it big and she’s allegedly being paid to get it smaller.

Anyway K…its…not…too…late.
